Let's assume for a moment that the name of the author does not awe us. Let's say the name we see outside is "John Something", an unknown, unassuming name. And now, flip through the book with no...

While this book shows that makeup can make a significant difference to a person's appearance, it does not explain that well how the reader can apply makeup to enhance their face. A convincing...

I bought this book long before I even began wearing makeup simply because I recognized that Kevyn Aucoin was a true artist. The photos are stunning (he took many of them himself I believe), and I...

Great book for makeup junkies. The photos are gorgeous. My only complaint is he doesn't tell you what products he uses and you have to guess on what to buy. Otherwise, I love it.

I cannot live without books. This make-up book is the HG of make-up books. It never gets boring and I'm always trying out the looks. One day I'll try the Marilyn Monroe look!
